However, the centerpiece of the Grand National Roadster Show will be the America’s Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) exhibition.

A total of 12 roadsters from the country’s top builders will compete for glory, plus a check for $12,500. The winner will also have their name added to the impressive nine-foot-tall perpetual trophy – and receive a smaller personal trophy to take home.
